50 years ago, Martina Navratilova left the communist Czechoslovakia where he was born to start a new life in the United States.

At 18, the then high school student became one of the most outstanding deserters of the Cold War and, later, in one of the most emblematic tennis players in the world.

However, in an interview with the BBC journalist Amol Rajan, he said he feared that, at present, the US would not let him in.

“I am not loyal to Donald Trump,” he says, adds that he is concerned that the US has become a “totalitarian” state.
